Description: | Grid C22A rim sherd of Severn Valley courseware pottery dating from the Roman period (c. AD 50-410). Its small size makes it difficult it determine the exact style and shape of the original vessel. It is sub-rectangular in plan, with the main body having a rectangular cross-section, and the rim having an irregular cross-section. The lip of the rim is swollen and everted and the thickness narrows evenly into the body of the sherd. The fabric is course but soft earthenware with angular and sub-angular black grit and quartz inclusions and is also mica rich. Its colour is uniform mid orange, with areas of grey core being visible.The sherd measures 21.9mm in length, 32.5mm in width, 6.8mm thick (rim is 7.2mm) and weighs 6.1 grams.
